STORY OF THE DAY: Stuart Townsend out as FANDRAL on THOR? Joshua Dallas is Replacing?

Hey folks, Harry here... Just got dropped the rumor du jour... According to a source wishing to be known as Avatom Rothman, Stuart Townsend has been fired from THOR due to showing up 6 hours late for a screen test. If this does come to be true, this would be the second high profile fantasy role he's lost after having been announced as landing the part. The first being the role of ARAGORN, which the public reason for losing the role was that they decided "he was too young" for the role. We all know that Viggo replaced him as Aragorn, but who would you cast as Fandral to replace Stuart?

Well, according to an AP story that has just started making the rounds, Stuart left due to "creative disputes" - but they're also stating that Joshua Dallas, a 28 year old actor, most famously cast in the sequel to THE DESCENT, which was pretty forgettable. He's also playing a character in George Lucas' infamous RED TAILS, which is apparently in post-production now. Filming is supposed to start this Monday. And... well, let's hope this is the disaster that needs to happen before a fortuitous shoot. Here's that story!

Theron's been carrying this dipshits for years. The guy is a prettyboy lightweight and in an alternate dimension he's butt fuckng that faggot Jude Law in a gay porn called SoHo Smackboys. Charlize must like having him around to suck the shit out of her asshole.

Would also be great, but the part sounds too small for him. I'd support Brannagh too, but he's too old in my opinion. He WAS Fandral in his prime however, no question. And has he realized Helena Bonham Carter is Hela yet?

If I'm not mistaken, he is shacked up with Charlize Theron, so I guess he has a legitimate excuse not to work. He lets her bring in the bucks while his worthless ass gets fired from high-profile films. Frankly, when I first heard of his casting in THOR, I was skeptical, so this is no great surprise.

Gotta be a pro in and out of the bed Stuart!
Oh, Dougray broke his arm filming MI:2 and Jackman was called up.
Mel Gibson is still my favorite for Wolverine and his new trailer proves it to me once again.
Who wouldn't like to see an old Wolverine battling Sentinels in the age of Apocalypse?

is like 40 years too old for the Scarlet Witch<br>
She's considerably older than what's publicly acknowledged<p>
Closer to her husbands age than you'd think from looking at her face<br>
Which has held up remarkably well

The news that John Malkovich is close to taking on the role of the Vulture in SPIDEY 4 is cool...as long as the film gets made and is better than #3. Right now, that all looks to be teetering on the brink. If I was Sam Raimi and the studio didn't let me do the film my way, I'd give them the ol' middle finger and walk. This film would SO benefit from bing under Raimi's complete creative control. So you stdio suit types need to take heed...back the fuck off and let the filmmaker guide the film's development, because you jerkwads certainly-and obviously-don't know the first thing about doing one of these movies right.

We were all very frustrated when stuart was late, but Kenneth is the man in charge and after he had cooled down from being so mad, he made the decision to let him go. Currently no other actor is lined up, we will be screening potentials by end of the week

The "creative differences" story is one that the general public might buy, but anyone who's familiar with the comic will realize the absurdity of "creative differences" over a bit part. Fandral was always pretty one-dimensional, so unless Townsend never read the comic or never talked to Branagh before taking the part, it's hard to see what the mixup could be.<p>And that's a terrible drawing of Fandral used in the story. Would a proper Kirby image have been so hard?

meeting when Charlize called, and you know how broads are, blah blah blah and all that shit. I bet Emma was the same way and thats why you dropped her ass. Well that and she was getting gray pubes right buddy.<p>So anyway I'm talking Charlize down off an emotional ledge when the cops stop me for driving and being on the phone at the same time. I'm all. 'I'm Stuart Townsend',and they were all 'who', and I was all, 'say what'. So anyway I'll skip ahead. This guy in the drunk tank just violated my asshole.<p>I'll be there soon but I just couldn't make it or call or get you a message or be bothered to act in any kind of professional manner, but I'm on my way.<p> I also have some notes on beefing up the Fandral part in the movie and maybe a spin off film.<p> So yeah, see you soon. Looking forward to working with you."

Why the apparent hatred towards homosexuals? Did your old camp counselor touch you in a special place when you were young? There's no need or place for the ignorance and hatred in a talk back or anywhere else.

In the comics, at least - y'know, where the 3 characters originated. Don't try looking them up in Norse mythology, as you'll be severely disappointed. If they skewed a little older than what they're casting, I'd say Guy Pearce would've been a great choice. Since its looking more and more like "The Hills" version of Thor though, I guess they'll just keep grabbing surfer dudes and valley girls to fill in the background.

If Richard Donner had made "Watchmen" Mel would've made a great Comedian. He could've handled that bedside breakdown better than jdmorgan or the Vietnamese pregnant chick. plus he actually would've been funny.

Eric Stoltz. They said something to the effect of "Eric Stoltz made like a tree.....and got his @$$ fired." Hahah I like the nice little way they used one of Bif's trademarks on Eric Stoltz. Anyway, getting fired from any job, whether Back to the Future Trilogy or Rings trilogy, is pretty sucky. At least Townsend has Charlize to console him, I wonder who Eric Stoltz had to console him back in the 80s.....made a call to Heidi Fleiss maybe?

To prove it we can go to this years Gay Pride Parade in Toronto and hold hands, if you like, while we watch a flatbed truck filled with naked fags drive down Yonge Street in an awesome display of homosexual dignity before witnessing an armada of fuck-ugly-diesel –dyke-man-haters march while we debate over which one looks the most like a fucking Rancor.<br> <br>Oh and my old camp counselor did touch me FYI but he wasn’t as good as my family priest.

I'd rather see Lucas make Howard the Duck 2 where Howard knocks up Lea Thompson, who shits out a load of eggs that Tim Robbin’s accidentally makes an omelet out of, with much mirth and hilarity ensuing from Howards emotional breakdown from knowing that his children were murdered, as Jeffrey Jones and Paul Reubens wank each other off while watching kiddie porn involving Jake Lloyd.

Stewart Townsend,
Charlize Theron better be swallowing your cum and taking your cum in her ass for you to be showing up that fucking late.You are a great talent so don't fuck it all up.The pussy cannot be that fucking good. Get your shit together you fucking dumb ass.I support you Stewart and love your movies so get your fucking ego in check.

from reading conspiracy's stories, could imagine him buying some hideaway villa, and be served food non-stop by scantily clad women. <p>
Would then like to see the Star Wars franchise end up in someone else's much more capable hands, though it could be worse could be Rothman.

Wait until Peter Parker offs himself, as a result of the clinical depression that is the source of all of his crying, and picks the flesh from his rotting carcass? Or does the Vulture just fly around and shit on peoples heads? How I would love to see a Spider-man movie where he takes on Q The Winged Serpent or the CHUDS.

You can't even titty fuck Charlize Theron.Why the fuck where you late? Anne Hathaway, now that is a girl you can titty fuck and shoot your cum all over her tits and mouth so I don't blame whoever is fucking her to being six hour late since you have to cover all positions. : ) But, Theron, give me a fucking break.

He's busy being fired or walk away from movies which could project him and turn him into a major star? What's the deal with this guy? Is he so hard to deal with? Is he such a prima-donna? Is he, in the words of Christian Bale, a fucking amateur? What's the deal with this guy?

I fucking love you, man. and that's not two old buddy's sharing a handshake over some brewskis at a barbecue love, that's i would lick your ass the fuck OUT while manipulating your testicles with one hand and stroking that sweet shaft with the other love... REAL love.

I thought that the reason Dougray couldn't be Wolverine was that Eyes Wide Shut went massively over-schedule, meaning the MI2 shoot was delayed as a consequence. I bet Dougray thanked Kubrick for that one.

Hate to go psychoanalitic on this, but maybe charlize Theron, for unconscious reasons, can't help being in bad, abusive relationships with men who are wrong for her. Seems her old mna had a very bad relationship with her mother, to the point that either charlize or her mother had to pull a gun on him and force him to leave the house for good. I think there was a gun incident at Charlize's home related to his dad. Maybe all i write above is just psychoanalitic bullshit, but who knows? Would be a pity that she would be inclided to go for abusive bad relationships, since it seems that she realy is a proper lady and a very nice and smart person. Not to mention drop dead gorgeaus.

If he fired Stuart Townsend, i'm certain he had very good reasons for doing so. Brannagh has given shown plenty of times his quality as an actor in theater, film and TV, and as a director in both theater and cinema. Stuart Townsend seems to only work in theater, his work in movies is hardly memorable and to write for. So, in Brannagh i trust. Stuart Townsend can go cry on Theron's lap for blowing his second big break. His fault.

Beign very late to the set, and not coming out of the trailer for dumb stupid reasons based on her personal insecurities. She nearly destroyed her career before she was 25. Iropnically, the movie that rescused her career is also the strangrest movie she ever did, POSSESSION, where she behaved like a professional.

This guy Townsand is a lightweight in terms of presence,charm, and talent. It's amazing he's still getting work; I guess it must relate to being Charlize's boyfriend. Maybe he should try being behind the camera more, as that Seattle movie he directed was supposed to be fairly good.

I'm a fan. Seriously. Cannot undertand all the hate you get man. Its entertaining as fuck! I always look out in every talkback, just to check out you are currently on the production team. Don't forget to tell Chris Nolan I said "Hi" and ask him what he thinks about putting Robin in the next movie, all right? Cool.

IF he actually were all that he tells us he is. seriously, we would have the biggest source in the talkbacks and instead of taking him seriously we would constantly flame him!^^
Like with Bruce Willis few years back. Yeah... haha... but no. I know Jettl93 is full of shit, but its still entertaining as hell.

And what if, big if, what if it actually completely rules? What would happen to George's Legacy? It would such an insanely strange thing to have him direct an excellent blockbuster from out of nowhere, and let the fan boys figure out why the prequels sucked such ass and yet he managed to make an excellent war/flying film. It would just add another hilarious and complicated layer to the retarded legacy one of George Lucas. It'd be more fun if its good than he continues to make complete shit.

based on comic books now. And that will soon change if Nolan fucks up the third. I honestly think there is no need for a third film (maybe a reboot in 6 years or so since Hollywood loves them) because this will be the Godfather 3 of comic book films. Spiderman already fucked up and nobody gives a shit about the Vulture or John Malkovich. Iron Man is decent at best too, so yeah. Comic book films can only go downhill now.

Dear Char/
I know I screwed up. I was on my way to to the production office when I got a sudden attack of nerves and I had to pull over. I just don't know what's wrong. I think I feel bad that my career has failed so far. I never wanted this Thor movie, but my agent pushed me into it. I really wanted Bond, and never being considered for the part has messed up my confidence. Char, baby, if you are reading this talkback, please forgive me. I love you so much. Kisses, Stu xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nowadays, I dunno. Ben Foster has played in a couple Marvel movies, one as Spacker Dave in Punisher and Angel in X-Men. Put a goatee on him and lets see. Oh and black list TehCreepyThinMan please. Redneck.
